THIS is Fred, a white three-year-old American Bulldog cross looking for his forever home.

He is in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch, who say he is a very friendly, affectionate boy who loves attention and fuss.

Unfortunately, he has not been given much guidance or training, so will need an experienced owner who can give him the time, attention and training that he needs.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Fred is a very active boy and will need a similarly active owner, particularly one who is able to handle a dog who is quite strong on the lead.

"He has not been socialised around other dogs, so will need some help to get used to being around them.

"Fred loves being around people and will be a wonderful companion for the right person. He needs to be in an adult home with a secure garden."

If you feel you can help Fred, please call Geraldine on 01886 822083. He is described as being in good condition, and is housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped. He will also be rehomed with four weeks' free pet insurance.
